~Help Wanted~

Busy Laundry Day!!

I was just thinking of how nice it would be to have a helper on certain days... Like, laundry day, or  house cleaning day! Have you ever felt like that lately sometimes too?
 It brings forth a treasured memory to my mind...

I remember back when our daughter Michele was always such a big helper for Mom, even when she was little But, in her early to mid teens,  she'd run the vaccum sweeper and do the dusting of furnitures for me,  even sometimes make supper for us on any given night that she wanted to surprise me when I got home from work..  I sure do miss having those together/closeness times nowadays!! Don't get me wrong, my hubby is such a real big helper when it comes to doing things around the house with and for me.. but, I just miss the together/closeness times that me and my daughter shared back close to 30 some years ago now.. If only we could stop time, just for a little while to savor more of that together here and now time when we are together! She's now grown into a beautiful young woman...  taking care of her own home and all...  I love to think back to when all of my kids were younger and on the times that we've shared and still are sharing together.. Precious times and precious memories alike!
Have a wonderful day! Thank you so much for visiting, and I always love and enjoy reading your comments that you leave for me!

~What An Enjoyable Anniversary Dan & I Had Yesterday!!~

Dan's boss gave him the whole day to spend with me to enjoy our 26th anniversary together on our Anniversary Day. That was so kind! So anyhow, this is what we did for our anniversary! I hope you enjoy all the pictures! Dan and I had a real enjoyable time! We went to the Round Barn in Arcadia, Oklahoma. Found that to be quite interesting! They were making a movie film in the upper section of the barn.. Got to see the big bus and all the people who were in the movie.. Wish I could have peeked inside, but wasn't allowed to.. We've been wanting to check this barn out, but just never made it... that is, till yesterday! Then we stopped at *POPS, which is just down a little ways from the round barn and got us a soda of course! Then we stopped at Robertson's Ham's on our way to McAlester, Oklahoma. Talk about a great tasting ham sandwich!! Dan has stopped there lots of times on his way to or from a job, but this was the first I've ever been there!

Then we stopped at Angel's Diner. Here Dan has stayed in the motel behind the diner and has eaten at their diner.. I found it real awesome looking on the outside, with the jukebox on their front of the diner, and the nice looking Cadillac's out in the front yard! We didn't go inside to eat, as we had planned on stopping at the Isle of Capri, which we did do for our dinner. It was absolutely beautiful inside, and the food was delishious!! I would definately love to go back there someday again! The atmosphere inside was sooo romantic... just perfect for celebrating our anniversary!

We had a wonderful time together and enjoyed all that we saw!! I have loved sharing our ~Special Day~ with you all too!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!

Good Morning!
This is a day that takes me back in my memories.. My
Step Mom's birthday is today. She would have been 72 years old. She passed away back in 1980 from cancer when she was only 42 years old, and mother of 4. Her name was Autumn Maxine. She was a fun loving lady, always smiling and always laughing, and was always there to help anyone who needed some help. My Dad and Mom were married for 25 years. One talks about the perfect married couple, well, I think they were the best! I can only recall them having one arguement the whole time I lived at home before I was married. They truly loved each other dearly. When she passed away, my father was so hurt, and so lost without her being there with him. It's like the end of his world came and the door was tightly closed shut. Dad did recover from Mom's passing, and did marry again.. I'm sure that is what my Mom would have wanted Dad to do. My father passed away May of 2006.

My memories today are really happy memories of both of my parents.. I just miss them both so much..and especially a whole bunch more even on days like today.. I know they both are with our Lord and that puts a smile on my face and I feel the warmth of their love forever in my heart.

Have a good day all!

Blessings,
